Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the significant yet often overlooked role of young writers in life writing genres, including memoirs and diaries, emphasizing their innovative use of social media. It highlights how these contributions have historically been marginalized or politicized. The authors argue that life narratives empower youth agency and cultural participation, enabling young people to challenge dominant public discourses on youth representation in various societal contexts. The research engages with broader theoretical debates on youth studies, self-representation, and ethical scholarship.
